Kahawa

Kahawa is a suburb settlement traversing the Kiambu County and Nairobi County borders along Thika Road. Despite its proximity to the city, most of its parts are administratively in Ruiru. Kenyatta University is found in this area. The current member of parliament for the area is Simon King'ara (2017-2022). The region is represented by Hon. Cyrus Omondi (Kahawa Wendani Ward) and Livingstone Wakibia Waiganjo (Kahawa Sukari Ward)(2017-2022).

The Kahawa Region

Generally, the Kahawa region is subdivided as follows:

(1) Kahawa Sukari (Home to Peponi School, Brookside, K. Sukari Estate and Sukari Ranch, owned by the Kenyattas), in Kiambu County.

(2) Kahawa Wendani (Home to Nakumatt Wendani and K. Wendani Estate), entirely in Kiambu County.

(3) Kahawa West (Home to Jacaranda Apartments, Maziwa Settlement and Kamae Settlement), in Nairobi County's Roysambu Constituency.

It's safe to say that Kahawa is an inter-county settlement because it is shared by both Kiambu and Nairobi counties. This scenario is repeated across the Kabete and Ruaka/Runda, Gachie areas of the greater metro region.

Kahawa Barracks

The Kahawa Barracks area (which forms the border with Nairobi County) was the site of a British Army base before Kenya's independence[1] and now hosts the Kahawa Army Base of Kenyan Army.[2] Kahawa is home to Maguna's Wendani after the closure of Nakumatt.

Transport

Kahawa lies to the north of Githurai, a Nairobi suburb and settlement along the Kenya-Uganda Railway. In 2016, this town started to be served by suburban trains of the Nairobi rail service.

gollark: Create a new section "Bees" %bees.Create a rule "Bee utilization part 1" (%bees-1) in %bees:> The deployment status of bees is considered part of the Game State. No bee action (except for bee deployment) may be taken unless bees are currently deployed. Bee actions include deployment of bees, which makes bees become deployed, cessation of bees, which makes bees not be deployed, and use of bees against a player. The player bees are to be used against must be indicated in the Bee Poll authorizing this action. Use of bees against players causes their Points quantity to be reduced by 1, unless it is already 0, in which case there is no effect.Create a rule "Bee Poll" (%bee-poll) in %polls:> A Bee Poll is required to authorize bees to perform actions, as described in %bees. The default allowed reactions for a Bee Poll are 👍 (representing a vote for) and 👎 (representing a vote against). Bee Polls may be closed if they have existed for 12 hours or more, rather than the usual 24. If a Bee Poll is passed, the action it describes is taken. Players are permitted to use multiple reactions on a Bee Poll.Due to the passage of proposal #207, bees are to be considered "deployed" initially.
